So, what will change after Brexit? I'm rather puzzled about this.

The way your two main parties handle pretty much everything I'd go with not much.

If the British people are interested in trade deals and the economy then you have to realistically look at all the rules and regulations that have been put in that make Britain an uncompetative place to do business. You posted earlier that Honda were leaving the UK. Fair one. They could be stopped from moving to the EU by giving them a financial insentive to stay and maybe attract a few more competitors at the same time.

 Let’s look  at today’s media slant .. “Polls show Brexit regret so is so strong that 'Remain' would win a second referendum by 9 points,,, “ err emmm ahhh bullshit  , “Poles will return east to higher wages and jobs, and UK will lose out” let’s hope so “ “Labour will work with MPs across the Commons to prevent No Deal, break the deadlock and build support for our alternative plan” fkn comical “This year could be a tipping point in post-war European politics. Some traditional political powerhouses might start to crumble and extremist, populist parties might gain more clout to throw a wrench into the EU's political machinery” well we said so lol “ But EU agriculture's experience of dealing with crises such as the Russian food embargo from 2014 and widespread cases of mad cow disease two decades ago would help it cope with an abrupt Brexit, Hogan said, well Russia told the eu to go get fkd as they produce better food than the eu and the eu food was contaminated so

Honda aren't moving to the eu, they're moving the factory back to Japan. The eu trade deal with Japan allows Honda to sell cars made in Japan to europe without high tariffs. Therefore Honda no longer have a reason to have a factory in the eu. Great for German car manufacturers who get to sell more cars in Japan, not so good for Swindon. Wouldn't be surprised if Honda also close their their French, Spanish and Italian factories.

As a member of the eu, we trade tariff free. If we leave on WTO terms  and tariffs come into force in UK to euro trade, the opportunity will be there for other nations to undercut them, take their business and bring us new trade in return. Do I trust the government to represent the country well in this? not really. My suspicion is that the establishment wants to create an economic depression and have the general public worrying more about food on the table than challenging the status quo.

That's a fair one. I honestly had read that far into it. I believe the point still stands that if it was cost effective to operate they wouldn't move. Britain isn't cost effective and neither is the EU with it's costs.

My mate just got told today he has to get his social security (NI) replacement card the same way as people from outside of Europe. Whether this is true or just some cnut being a w@nker, who knows. But it's started!

I've just spent a week in main land Spain and a week in Tenerife, if you removed the Brits from the amount of people that were there they'd be on their bloody knees.
